Regrouting in Gilbert Street, Hampshire
Tiled areas in Gilbert Street need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Gilbert Street
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. If you are dealing with dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Gilbert Street makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Questions from Gilbert Street
Will you come out to Gilbert Street?
Yes, Gilbert Street is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Gilbert Street in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Gilbert Street is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
When can I use the shower again?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why act early in Gilbert Street
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Around Gilbert Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

- Old sealant always removed completely
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.

Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
